While the movie deals with the gory details of the underbelly of Mumbai, it doesnt really leave you with a sick feeling. The story feels like a commentary and at the end you just feel good about the whole movie. Very well done I must say. The music score by Rehman is amazing, the actors who played junior Jamal and Salim were the real stars. They were simply too good. I thought Freida Pinto was overhyped. I think she had just 15 mins of screen presence in the whole movie. Boyle has really done a good job with this movie.
